Question : Load Balancing two ADSL connections for small office

Hi Experts,
  I am setting up a small office with 6 to 10 people who mostly use voip (hard phones) and basic browsing. Was considering the latest ubuntu server and thin clients, and buying a cheap (on a very tight budget) load balancing 2x wan router. The router will be connected to two different ISPs. My aim is to increase bandwidth for the staff and also as a failsafe.

Any suggestions or advice? Will a router like this do? D-Link DI-LB604

Thanks in advance,
 Martin

D-Link DI-LB604 is not recommended, and actually it is now discontinued.

For SOHO applications, Linksys products are always recommended. Linksys/Cisco RV042 is a good candidate, It also provides VPN support which is essential for SOHO users.
